Great looking plants Sarah, thanks for sharing. I guess the VFT is just coming out of dormancy, some of mine look very similar.

Thank you =)

I'm hoping so, i recently moved my greenhouse to the top of my garden where its sunny pretty much all day and gets very warm inside so i'm hoping that will help the growth a bit more =)

Good looking plants. For the VFT, I know this isn't what most growers would say, but VFT's don't like perlite. I read in Slack's book that he never used it, and recently when I've used it, I've seen a decline in health of the plants in my collection. Could be worth repotting it and use some lime free sand.

Cheers

Alex.

Interesting, they also seem to grow well in pure peat as long as it's a good brand of peat. I potted a community bowl of a few Venus Flytraps back in June 2011 in pure peat and just left them alone they have done really well and overtaken the bowl and I have never repotted them and always let them flower and sit in water. I may try a few potted clones in pure peat to see how they do when I repot.
